32. Hierarchically organized depiction of the project organization arranged so as to relate the work packages to the performing organizational units






33. Process which generates hundreds or thousands of probable performance outcomes based on probability distributions for cost and schedule on individual tasks. the outcomes are used to generate a probability distribution for a project as a whole.
